STILL waiting for White History Month.
We had the USA channel on, in our den, last night. I walked through and saw previews for a show Glory. (I think its an older movie about a black regiment of the Civil War.)
It looked like a great movie and cast....Denzel Washington (who won an Oscar, for his role), Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick...
I was actually going to record/watch until they pre-empted it with a current message from one of the black actors (from the original movie). He said (ad-libbing..dont recall verbatim) This movie is even more important, today, because today we STILL have prejudices and racism, in this country. Changed the channel and turned off the TV, right then and there.
Why not remind viewers of the important role these brave soldiers played? What value they were to the war? No...he focused on TODAY’S racism and prejudice.
